Detectives announced the arrest of 45-year-old Michael Tito Jackson, who has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after an altercation in the 3400 block of 24th Street SE. Jackson allegedly argued with a man around 11:36 p.m. Monday and then pulled out a gun to threaten the victim.
Jackson was detained at the scene, officers said.
In a separate incident, 31-year-old Donte Colbert reportedly struck a man with his car at around 4:30 a.m. in the 2500 block of Good Hope Road, SE. The DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services rushed the victim to the nearest hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
After investigating, police officers said Colbert intentionally used his car to strike the victim.
